A baby at 11 weeks is feeling unwell and the parent inquires about treating the baby’s cough and cold. Response: If the symptoms are mild, no special treatment is needed. Common colds usually resolve within a week, but pediatric colds require attention to prevent pneumonia. Encourage the child to drink plenty of water, digest fluids, and for severe coughing, administer respiratory decongestants such as pediatric lung-clearing syrup and banlangen. Pay attention to staying warm, eat a light diet, and get plenty of rest. Maintain a positive mood, rest often, and follow a healthy diet avoiding greasy and spicy foods, which benefits both the baby and the mother.
